Pros
Paid $15.75/hour while in Delaware for 8 weeks of training also you get $25.00 a day for food. Once you graduate and go back to your crew base - you continue the $15.75/hour till you get 'marked up' (you are able to work the route or routes having learned the physical characteristics and unique aspects) - after that your pay goes up to 75% of your positions pay scale (around $19.00 or so) then you get a 5% increase every year for 5 years till you get to the full 100% pay for your job. Of course if you move up to full 'conductor' your pay goes up again.
Cons
Normally you start on the 'extra board' - where you are on call 6 days a week (one day a week is your designated day off) as long as you answer your phone for a job you get paid 40 hours each week. If you don't work when they call or don't answer a call - then you only get what you worked during that week.
